The Ulster Criterium Championships will be fought out in
Banbridge tomorrow evening, the popular fixture doubling as the provincial
title decider.
A support race is also being run, in an elimination race
format, for the local Banbridge Interclub Race League clubs.
The main event will be run on the traditional course,
which also hosted the National Criterium Championships three years ago when
Mark Dowling won the title.

The event will use the same popular 1km circuit, starting and finishing on Banbridge town’s Newry St.
Host Banbridge Cycling Club has said the course will “bring the fast-paced action of crit racing to the town centre where it belongs”.
It added: “While at first glance the circuit may look
flat and relatively straight forward, a sharp descent, fast and tight corners,
and a drag onto the start-finishing straight that will sap the legs has proven
to provide both competitors and spectators some exciting racing over the years.”
Racing for the Banbridge Interclub Race League elimination race will commence at 7pm, lasting just over a half hour.
The Ulster championship race will commence at 8pm and will last for approximately 50 minutes, with two prime laps.
